President Obama On Fin Reg And Unemployment Benefits

President Obama got too more victories this week but it was largely overshadowed by the Shirley Sherrod debacle. Getting financial regulation passed even though its not as strong as most of us would have liked is a legitimate reason to beat his chest. So is extending unemployment. But I hope he realizes that this has to only be a start. If that small jobs bill doesn't get passed and there isn't more economic stimulus on the way the mid terms will be a blood bath no matter what kinds of speeches he gives.
